And i didn't have any problems. I did a coolant flush when I found out my mechanic didn't drain the engine block enitrelly (mix of green and gold coolant).

What stinks is I can't post a thread and get some of our older members answering my newbie questions. So here's a thread to get people posting!

Oh and thanks for helping me take care of my car guys!

OK... what is the question?? Or do you just want comments....

Did you put the correct fluids back in the right places? was that the change??

If we want to get a flame war, we could discuss whether you used dino or synthtic oil...

I'm assuming you were working on the 300D... Of course, you might end up meeting Jimmy if you refer to it as a 300DT....

That's one reason I haven't been in a hurry to check out the 95 300D I mentioned in anothe thread - one of the pics shows the engine bay with the coolant tank - full of GREEN antifreeze.

If you have any more questions, just ask. As long it's not about piston ring end gaps.

Well i noticed after I switched to Valvoline 5w40 my engine is running with a lot more energy and umph. Think you can answer that?

Oh and the CLK Dude will be proud of my beer consumption for this evening.

Less beer for us? How could he be happy?
